Embroidered
Ge Jia baby carrier collected by Pamela Cross in 2001 in Ma Tang village,
Kaili city and which Andrew Dudley estimates is likely to be more than
20 years old i.e. probably third quarter of the 20th century. See his
embroidered baby carrier which the seller estimated as between 30-40 years
old. This textile is so very difficult to photgraph as the colours only
have a subtle differentiation and the stitching is so solid.
